Vertical (rotated) label in Android

Question

I need 2 ways of showing vertical label in Android:

1. Horizontal label turned 90 degrees counterclockwise (letters on the side)
2. Horizontal label with l

Answer 1

One way to achieve these would be:

1. Write your own custom view and override onDraw(Canvas). You can draw the text on the canvas and then rotate the canvas.
2. Same as 1. except this time use a Path and draw text using drawTextOnPath(...)
